Bayan was ordered by Ajige and obviously brought 12,000 troops to Linhuai, but he was divided into three groups and entered Linhuai in batches, claiming to the public that he had garrisoned 6,000 troops.

This not only deceived Li Guo and Liu Tiren, but also many Manchu and Han generals in Fengyang City.

At present, as long as Bayan is willing, he could have led his army out of the city to fight when he heard that Li was coming to attack, and he would have a high probability of directly defeating the invading Guangxinwei.

But Bayan did not move his troops. What he wanted was not defeat, but to wipe out all.

In the field battle, even if Guangxinwei is defeated, it is very likely that most of it will escape, and in the end it will return to Dingyuan City to continue to resist stubbornly.

Since that's the case, why not design a battle to fight an annihilation under Linhuai City to make a one-and-one?

....

Li Guo came prepared and gave all the cannons to Liu Tiren. He brought all the heavy cannons from Guangxinwei and had sufficient ammunition.

This is also Li Guo’s confidence in daring to fight a desperate battle.

Although I am ready to die, it is always good to live without death.

If Bayan is vicious, Li Guo is not inferior.

When people attacked the city, they mostly prepared solid bullets, smashing the city gates and walls, but this time Li Guo brought all the flowers bullets.

Guangxinwei has not fought for almost two years, and it has not started fighting after entering Fengyang Mansion this time, so Li Guo’s family is rich.

Twelve rounds of artillery bombs, nearly a hundred artillery fired, almost sprinkled a thick layer of shrapnel on the city tower.

If the defenders were not suffering much casualties, I'm afraid no one could believe it.

Bayan didn't believe it either. In fact, in order not to make Li Guo suspicious, Bayan invested a lot of money. As usual, there were many defenders patrolling the city walls and the city towers, and there were no less than a thousand people.

This round of artillery attacks wiped out more than 70% of the defenders on the city.

In other words, if Bayan was not prepared, then today's round of artillery bombardment would be equivalent to destroying his most elite defending troops.

Unfortunately, there were quite a few people, but Bayan went to guard the city, all the Han army surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. His own Han army was gathering at the Lan Banner of the Lan, and he was gathering two miles away from the south gate, silently looking at the city gate in the distance, waiting for Bayan's orders.

....

According to Li Guo's method of making this, no matter how rich his family is, he will be exhausted.

After the twelve rounds of volleys, the gun barrel could no longer hold on, and the sound of gunfire began to drop.

But it was expected that because the Guangxin Guard infantry siege was already approaching the city wall and began to set up the wall with ladders. There were also many rushing cars and pounding the wood began to hit the door.

But hitting the door is a chance, because any city that is attacked by a large army will be prepared before, and the city will be blocked with earth, wood and stones, and the car will not be able to open the city gate.

The most aggressive thing is to build a wall with a vertical ladder. Only when soldiers climb onto the city wall can they truly control the city wall.

Until Guangxin Guard began to climb the ladder, there was still no response on the city, as if the defenders had already fled after hearing the news.

This made Li Guo, who was commanding under the city, feel more and more uneasy.

In fact, if the siege party really needs to climb the city wall in large numbers, the city will basically be broken.

But the defenders have not shown their strength so far, so they must have a safe backup plan.

Li Guo can fight hard, but he doesn't want to die inexplicably.

He raised his hand, just as he was about to order the withdrawal.

An abnormal movement occurred on the city wall.

Dozens of Guangxinwei, who had already turned over and climbed the city wall, were thrown to the city like dumplings.

The frontier soldiers who were climbing the ladder began to be in chaos.

Then, countless heads appeared at the battlements and shot densely with arrows at the Guangxin Guard soldiers who climbed up like long snakes.

Countless soldiers were caught in arrows and cried and fell down the ladder.

Every sound made Li Guo's heart harshly. He understood that behind everyone, there was a family of young people. If it weren't for Zhongzhenying's family, Li Guo wouldn't have easily agreed to accept Wu Zheng's incorporation.

But now, with such a way of dying, more than 100,000 loyal family members, who can raise them?

The generals behind Li Guo stared at the blood-red eyes to fight, even if they were to die.

But Li Guo clenched his teeth, but he just refused to agree.

When he was forced to do so, Li Guo suddenly turned around and asked, "How many shells are there?"

This shocked everyone. No one was a fool. Everyone knew what Li Guo wanted to do.

But even if he was shocked, no one would persuade him, and no one would answer. He stared at Li Guo silently.

That complex look is meaningful.

Li Guo was angry and asked again: "It's all mute... I'm asking, how many shells are there?"

A team leader came forward carefully and replied whispered: "Reply... General..., there are more than a hundred..."

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked to the ground by several feet. He kicked hard without leaving any room, and almost couldn't get up.

As if he didn't see it, Li Guo walked to the boy and shouted: "You...you...you are sent to me to order and shoot out all the shells...the target...the city tower!"

The boy was also shocked. He shook his head repeatedly and cried, "No... no... General, my brother is on the city..."

"Bastard!" Li Guo shouted fiercely, "Do you dare to resist the order... believe it or not, I cut off your head with one knife!"

Everyone was silent, only the boy cried, "General, please spare your life... General, be kind... My brother is still in the city... they are all our comrades!"

Li Guo was really anxious. He pulled out his sword with a choke and pressed against the boy's neck and said, "If you don't fire the fire, they will die in vain... Don't you understand? Send the order quickly, and if you dare to talk too much, don't blame me for being ruthless under the knife!"

The boy finally stood up with his hands, wiped his tears, and staggered backwards. He ran and cried loudly.

The sorrow of crying made Li Guo unable to help but "knock" and threw down his sword, sighed to the sky: "After today, there will be no loyal camp!"

....

Bayan, who had been using a telescope to observe the battle situation on the city wall, had a smile on her face.

Indeed, he has the capital to laugh. Judging from the current situation, victory is almost at hand.

Behind him, there were still three thousand rear troops who had not moved, which was for him to encircle and annihilate the defeated scattered soldiers of Guangxin Guard.

Look, Bayan is ready to clean the battlefield.

But at this moment, a few cannons suddenly sounded, which changed Bayan's face, but then calmed down.

It’s just that the enemy is surviving. Now thousands of people on both sides are stalemate on the city wall, and the enemy’s shells are not eyeing. Can we tell who is the enemy and who is the friend?

But after a while, the cannon sounded again, and there were a few more noises.

This made Bayan frown. Could it be that the enemy army wants to kill the enemy without discrimination?

Bayan was shocked, but in just a moment, he returned to peace.
